Today on solipsistic NATION we’ll listen to select tracks from Experimedia, a record label, shop, and distributor based out of Ohio and established in 2000. I’ve known about Experimedia for quite some time and it’s kind of surprising that our paths haven’t crossed already. Experimedia consistently puts out quality releases, so much so that when I hear about... Read More

solipsistic NATION No. 278: #twittermix4
Welcome to #twittermix4! And here’s the part where I explain what that means. Explaining what it means is actually one of the #twittermix traditions. So here we go… When I first joined Twitter there wasn’t a lot of labels or musicians on Twitter, which made it almost useless as far solipsistic NATION was concerned. But I stuck around and gradually more and more... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 277: I Am Electro
On today’s show our guest is Nathan Phelan, host of The Electro Show. As the producer of solipsistic NATION I rarely have time to listen to other music podcasts.

solipsistic NATION No. 276: ABAGA Records
Today’s label showcase features, by popular demand, ABAGA Records!

When I launched solipsistic NATION I was uncompromising in my vision for the show. I wanted to feature the best of... Read More
solipsistic NATION No. 275: Stereo MCs, Live
I think it’s safe to say that if you’ve heard the Stereo MCs‘ music then you’re probably already fan. And if you haven’t heard the Stereo MCs’ music, which is almost impossible, then you will be a fan by the end of today’s show. Well, actually, I have to admit the possibility that you may not be a fan. I know I wasn’t. When the Stereo... Read More

solipsistic NATION No. 273: A Different Drum
I keep meaning to write up today’s show notes but instead I’ve got caught up in a discussion with friend of the show, _tlr_, about the movie, John Carter. Sorry, _tlr_, I have duties I must attend to! Last week I failed to mention how much I’ve been blown away by Tympanik Audio‘s recent releases from the likes of Access To Arasaka, Known Rebel, C.Db.Sn and... Read More

I’ve... Read More
